ToH Mass PVP

[The Legendary Joe]

Isn't choosing between light and dark just like choosing a guild? You can't tell the guild to choose only 12 people to do WoE because its unfair they have more people. As far as I know, Dark used to win, now its Light. Dark just has to man up.

Difference is you can't just straight up quit light/dark.??You have to pay money??(either 10 dollars RL cash to the donates, or win the monthly fairy auction with zillions of zenny) for a GM service to switch the sides (and all of your currently won toH wings and helms) to the other sides, and there's no real leader of those two sides.??Sure you have the storyline leaders like Erebos and Lady thea, and the GM leaders who usually tend to quit RO after a period of time.??I kinda miss the petty squabbles between GM-Mystra and GM-Ayu's eudoxie character =/.

I agree that it'd be better that it was organized, but??it's supposed be chaotic. I'm glad you compared it to woe,??because it's supposed to be like a War between light and Dark.

Skill of the players is a factor, but get enough people wailing on someone and eventually they will fall. I think each loss should mean Mass recruitment to their side, but not everyone agrees with that.

Outside of finding a leader on both sides that players of their allegiance can respect and follow in combat, there's generally not much you can do.??Most of the time when the GM's give you that time before the match to plan what you're going to do, and pre-buff, and whatnot,??people generally?ignore everything and?just go in guns blazing and??end up making stupid mistakes, and that turns it into a game??of numbers rather than skill. Doesn't help when you go into it seeing??that The other side has like 4 times as many people as you do.

My main dislike with mass toH aside from the lack of organization is that with larger attendances, you need multiple parties on your side, and that gets people caught in the friendly fire. Sometimes it's deliberate, othertimes its not.
